October 20, 2017   Appearances

Dakota attended the 5th Annual Save the Children Illumination Gala a couple of days ago! Our gallery has been updated with images from the event. You might have noticed our fansite was offline for over 24 hours, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. It turns out the server in which it is located was attacked, and it took our hosting company some time to fix the issue. Everything should be working properly now.

October 5, 2017   Magazine Scans Photoshoots

Dakota is on the cover of Hunger Magazine #13! She is one of their 3 cover stars for this issue, and the other two are Elizabeth Olsen and Chadwick Boseman. You can buy the magazine with Dakota’s special cover here.

For this issue we’ve gone A-list, featuring Elizabeth Olsen, Dakota Fanning and Chadwick Boseman. Elizabeth Olsen, shot as you’ve never seen her before by Nadia Lee Cohen, turns Hitchcock heroine and discusses how society now affects her film choices and her treatment as a woman in Hollywood while Dakota Fanning, shot by Rankin, talks legacy and the need for further discussion around mental health, a subject that she delves into while filming The Bell Jar. Our third cover star Chadwick Boseman, who was shot in LA by Neil Krug, talks us through the significance of his roles in Marshall and Black Panther and breaks down the depiction of black experience in film today.

September 29, 2017   Brimstone Interviews

Seeing as Brimstone has recently premiered in Europe, Dakota has been talking to a few newspapers to promote the film. The latest one was The Irish Times, and the interview is very sweet.

For the longest time, Dakota Fanning was framed as an “old soul” by her invariably impressed co-stars. Glenn Close deployed the phrase when, in 2005, she shared a nine-minute, unbroken scene with the then 10-year-old in the Chekovian-inspired drama Nine Lives.

Kris Kristofferson, who played her character’s grandfather in Dreamer, compared Fanning to Bette Davis. She was 11. Kurt Russell, who played her dad in the same film, was so impressed that he bought her a Palomino pony, saying: “I guarantee you, she is the best actress I will work with in my entire career.” (In a classy back-at-you, Fanning named the horse Goldie after Goldie Hawn, Russell’s partner of 34 years.)

Other Fanning fans include Tom Cruise, who has sent her a birthday present every year since they starred in Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds. “Mostly shoes,” apparently.

That “old soul” tag and a muscular recent resumé is slightly at odds with the good-natured, high-spirited 23-year-old one encounters off-screen.

As we meet, she is enjoying being the butt of many jokes among her co-stars on the set of The Alienist. The mini-series, which was created by True Detective’s Cary Fukunaga and largely shot in Budapest, casts Fanning as Sarah Howard, a jazz-age secretary who is determined to become New York’s first female police detective.

“They all think it’s hilarious that I have eight suitcases to bring home,” says Fanning. “But we’ve been in Europe for six months. I don’t think that’s excessive.”

September 27, 2017   Candids

Dakota was sighted in New York City yesterday! Our gallery has been updated with the images. I’ve also uploaded some production images from The Alienist, which you can see here, and the cover and featured image from the upcoming issue of Hunger Magazine, which you can see here and here. I’m waiting until the issue actually comes out to make a separate post for it, as they’ve already stated it contains a new interview and a photoshoot.

September 15, 2017   Brimstone

Our gallery has been updated with screen captures of Dakota’s scenes in Brimstone! Even though the movie has been out On Demand in the United States for several months, it is set to hit cinemas in the UK on September 29, 2017. This is a really rough one to watch. If there was ever any movie of Dakota’s we could refer to as “brutal”, this is definitely it.

September 1, 2017   The Alienist Videos

A new trailer for The Alienist was released earlier this week! Unfortunately for us, it also came with some sneaky bad news – the description of the video on TNT’s official Youtube Channel states the series is set to premiere in 2018! Up to this point, every article had been assuming the date would be set to late 2017. Well, it happens… let’s keep our fingers crossed for some promotional stills soon!
